TROUBLEsOME KlOwAs.
They Talk of War. But Run Away
From Troops.

Fort WORTH. Tex, April 24.-Advices
from Ananadarko. Indian agency, are to
the effect that there has been great excite
ment there owing to the action of the Kio-
was. War talk began over week ago. but
Quanh Parker, chief of the COmanches, not
only held his own tribe in check. but influ-
enced the better element of the Kiowas.
But few of this tribe would listen to him,
and with their war talk began depredations
on the cattlemen. A band of them roamed
over the cattle country visiting residences
and greatly frightening the women and
children. They made such demonstrations
about the school at Ananadarko as
to terrorze the children. The mill
tary were notified, and Capt.
Hall determined to withhold the
beef rations from the Kiowas that had
caused trouble, but when Friday came
more of the traders came in and it was then
determined to arrest them. This becoming
known, the Kiowas became alarmed and
leaving their traps, wagons, ETC.. took their
women and children and all their ponies to
stronghold OH the Rainy mountain. about
forty miles from Ananadarko. The troops
were at once sent in pursuit and went into
camp on the Wichita. eight miles from the
Indian position. They advanced to the
base of the mountain on the following night.
After three days parley the Indians agreed
to give upthe offending Indians to the SOL
diers located near the fort where they could
be watched. The troops returned to Anana-
darko with the prisoners.

CHOKED TO DEATH.
The Terrible Fate of n Young Girl of
Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, O., April 24.-Shortly
after midnight the body Of Mary Mccarthy.
adomestic in the employ of Rev. W. Merle
Smith, pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, was found partly under the rear
porch of the residence of c. d. Hatch, who
lives at 355 Sibley street, and next door to
Mr.. Smith. Mr.. Hatch's family had been
aroused short time before midnight by
cries for help from the back
yard. and the startling discovery
was made when Mr.. Hatch proceeded to
investigate the cause of the outcry. The
police were called and an examination of
the surroundings convinced them that the
girl had been murdered. Her hair and
clothing were deranged, her purse hat and
gloves lay in the front yard and some of
her undergarments had been torn from her
person. The girl was respectable and had
been absent during the afternoon and even
ening visiting her mother, who lives in an
Other part OF the city. In the hasty
inyestigation, the police were unable
st0ss find any marks, OF violence that
would lave caused death. The girls nose
had bseH bleeding, and there was a slight
scratclitoli her face, and the first theory
was that she had been assaulted by man
and had died from fright. The post mortem
held to-day, however, demonstrated that
death was caused by strangulatiOn, and
that an attempt had been made to violate
her person. 1t is now believed that the
girl was choked to death while defending
her virtue. There is not the slightest clue
to the perpetrator of the outrage and
murder.

Simmons Relieved 70 Have Fired
the Hotel Dei N Onte.
MONTERREY, CAL. April 24.-The evi-
dence against Simmons. who was arrested
yesterday. charged with having fired the
Hotel Del Monte, is said to be very strong.
1t is known beyond doubt that the water
pipes had been tampered with. All the
circumstances point to the probability that
the whole matter had been thought out by
the person to make a success of the scheme.
The man who set fire to the
Hotel DelmOnIe did so with the intention of
making clean sweep and fully succeeded.
What evidence the officers have of his guilt
is not known. but it is said by Chief Brown
that they have eye witnesses who will tes-
tify TO having seen Simmons walking from
the direction of the fire few minutes be-
fore the flames were discovered; also that
when it was found that the books were unin-
jured by the fire investigation was made
and it was discovered that Simmons was
$4,000 short in his accounts. Another state
ment is that at the time of the fire. when
everyone was doing all they could to save
lives and property, Simmons was walking
around with his hands in his pockets, and
when requested to lend his assistance. re-
piled: Il have nothing more to do with
this place.

O'Clock this morning the mother awoke
and saw a man standing over
her who instantly fired upon
her three times, all the bullets
striking her head. She rushed out OF the
room and in the passage the two sons met.
Another shot was fired and Carlisle fell,

assert that they saw three men escape from
the house Immediately after the shooting.
Suspicion has fallen upon Emanuel. and
he was put under arrest. He and his
mother deny that he did the shooting, but
some of his statements are contradictory.
Carlisle cannot possibly recover and Mrs.

CLEVELAND,S LETTER.
What an Epistle Which Was Not
published Contained.

ST. LOUIS. April 4.-The Republicans
Washington correspondent, again referring
to the presidential denomination matter.
gives the following: A story has come to
the correspondent of the Republican to-
night significantly contirmatory of the con-
versation between the president and his
senatorial visitor. This story is to the
effect that the president had quite recently
prepared formal letter to be made public.
setting forth his views in regard to the
second term in plain, distinct words. and
unqualiiedly declaring that he would not
be a candidate for reelection. Yielding to
the earnest persuasionS OF his friends he con-
sented, however, to withhold the letter for
the present, at least, if not to wholly aban-
don his intention of giving it to the public.
This story is told on the authority of Col.
Dorsheimer, of New York, who was in
Washington few days ago. He told sew
eral of his friends while here, Immediately
after coming from the White house, that he
had been shown the draft of a letter. such
as has been .already characterized, and his
advice was asked regarding the policy Of
such a publication. He said the letter re-
ferred at some length to the opposition of
certain element of the Democratic party to
the reelection of Cleveland and the chance
that 1t might defeat the tlcket. After re-
ferr;ng to this we'll known factor
in the existing political situation, Col.
Dorsheimer says the president went
on in his letter to say that he deemed it
wise. in view of these circumstances. to
withdraw his name from all consideration
in connection with the nomination. He
announced in unequivocal terms that he
was not candidate, and suggested that
some other leader, who could command the
united support of the whole party. be Sc
lected as the standard bearer i'll 1888. Col.
Dorsheimer stated that he at once protested
against any public use of such a letter as
proposed. He told the president thatrthere
was no need for him to adopt this step
now. whatever might prove to be necessary
hereafter. He urged the president to
abandon the idea for the present at any
rate. and finally induced him to yield to his
perSuaSiOnS.
